Post a thirst trap. Ready, set, go!

A black and white photo of Rieve from the collarbone up. They are shirtless, their shoulders and chest speckled by beauty marks. They have short, assymetrical hair that is close cut on one side and long of varying, texturized lengths on the other. Their hair is light, their eyes look dark but warm. Their eyebrows are also dark and their features, in this lighting, look angular but not sharp. Their expression is mildly curious, as though waiting to hear what you have to say.

Saw this random dog. It's cute! Wanted to share the delight so I took this pic (w/permission). Even on vacation I was thinking of my bsky friends!

Do we like the pink? This was a tinted toner, but I'm thinking I'll keep it!

At the library

A plastic dinosaur, blue with a white tummy, on an interior window ledge. Triceratops, probably. In a line with other barely visible dinosaurs.

"cornbread crepes" You mean corn tortillas?

A recipe for cornbread crepe chicken enchiladas from Allrecipes. It's a pan of enchiladas made with corn tortillas.

Saw these today. What an absolute joy!

It's not perfect but not bad for a first try. I'm happy with it!

Look at the dogs I saw today! They make quite the pair.

A white dog, rather large. He has heterochromia. Looks like a lab mixed with a great dane. He's being walked on a leash.

A tiny fawn coloured Chihuahua. He's on a walk on a leash. He has a grizzled snoot and looks like he wants pets.

We could all use a little Ozzie today, methinks

I absolutely wanted this flower pot, but sadly do not have a yard for it. Maybe some day! The conservatory gift shop is actually pretty neat in both the eclectic nature all tied together by a singular theme (sounds paradoxical, I know) and also that you can get good plants for fairly cheap.

Bric-a-Brac in a gift shop, mostly plant or garden themed. Includes giant paper flowers, small mammals made of mixed materils (metal and faux plants), candle tapers shaped like flamingo croquet mallets, delicate glassware, houseplants.
In the center on a long legged stool (or table?) with a proportionately small flat surface sits a metal flower pot of fun, bright colours (each part being a different colour). The body is the pot, and it has a head with a wide open mouth, pronounced nostrils, and big big goofy looking eyes. It also has spindly legs and tiny feet with 3 toes each.

Sora and I went to the conservatory today where we had our first date a decade ago. One of my favourite shots from the day:

Pink flowers on tall, straight, thin stalks. Any leaves are much further down the plant and out of sight. The pink flowers look like little fireworks explosions and some of the petals have their fuzzy bits on their tips. The pink could be described as Barbie pink and the yellow as marigold yellow.

I just thought this clover was pretty and wanted to share something lovely.

Haven't seen my father in 15 years. Every now and then I remind him I exist. #self-care

Paper Flowers Jessica Jocelyn

If I run far enough, will I still be someone's daughter? Will my name be spoken in whispers, or worse, not spoken at all?

If I stay away long enough, can I be erased by time? Can I slip between the cracks so far that I void the blood that ties us?

I'm not sure what it feels like to be loved, but I don't think it's supposed to feel like this. I don't think my feet should be scarred from walking on eggshells.

And if this is love, then may I never be found.

When you're bedbound but still want to take a cute selfie (Ozzie)

A gray and white cat in bed from the chest up, on his side with his leg stretched out to make it look like he's taking the photo. He has a pink nose and one eye.

Ozzie Tummy

A dark gray and white cat laying on his side on a bed. His tummy is exposed and white with pink skin that match the two visible toebeans. His head is not visible, hidden by his front leg and three pillows. The sheets on the bed are a variety of soft colours: pink, blue and white, mostly, and do not match. The bed is not made up, and so it looks like a cat nest.

Been playing #LoveAndDeepspace since being stuck in bed/on my loveseat is boring. #Xavier is #4 /5 on my list, but he's still a cutie. Hunter ID: 82002682268

every single day the news is like "breaking: the president has decreed that 100 to 200 angry hornets will be crammed into the mouth of each and every non-billionaire in the continental US on a random night this week while they sleep!" and every single time i'm like "...is this a power traditionally held by the executive branch of the US government?" and sometimes the answer is "unfortunately yes" and sometimes the answer is "no but it's happening anyway lol" and then i'm like "well i guess i hope the other branches impose checks and balances on his decision" and then the republican-majority supreme court is like "we're fine with this" and the republican-majority congress is like "what if the hornets were angrier actually" and then some glossy new startup is like "we built a tool to help predict which night is your night to have the hornets jammed in there, it's called buzzz :) " but the it turns out the tool is powered by ai so it's completely worthless and anyway what i'm saying is no, i haven't really been keeping up on my laundry lately.

45 doesn't feel too shabby.

rieve with purple hair of various shades, cut to about the middle of their ears. it's slightly messy and not parted, but vaguely styled. They are wearing a white button down with red lobsters on it that has a collar held by pins of Satoru Gojo and a penguin to a gray sweater vest in a paisley pattern with navy and blue diamonds. Their face ls gently made up around the eyes with gold and silver shadow, and a tiny star stamped by the corner of one eye. Their cheeks are flushed slightly, looking rosy pink. They are smiling a little.

This is why I'm still a fan after all these years. (Maybe of interest to @charloh.online )

A screenshot from Facebook showing Five Iron Frenzy's new cover photo: The background used on the album "Upbeats and Beatdowns" with text: Fighting Christian Nationalism since 1995

A 'fan' replies:

Van Estes
Well, Five Iron Frenzy, if your objective in life was to gain praise from atheists and people who have walked away from the faith, congratulations, you've arrived. What's it say about the witness you've built over the last 3 decades when all the replies in your comments are affirmation from people who have rejected Jesus? SMH

Five Iron Frenzy responds:
Van Estes Do you know what Christian nationalism is?

Charlotte and Iggy are getting along a little better with the help of some patient intervention here and there. (This vidéo was 6 years in the making.)

It's been almost a year since I last played and loading up again, damn this game is still so pretty. #Starfield

A letterbox view of the surface of a white and gray rocky planet with no atmosphere. There is a building in the distance, dark and tall. Nearby, white rocks float, suspended between the black of space that has been pierced with thousands of pinprick stars, and the nearly barren surface of the planet. It has an almost ghostly aura, starkly beautiful

I was picked up by the police for hitchhiking in Wyoming.
